Ahead of his return to action next weekend in the main event of UFC 307, former two-weight champion, Alex Pereira is closing as a massive betting favorite with the bookies to land a victory over incoming championship challenger, Khalil Rountree in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Pereira, a former undisputed middleweight champion and the current undisputed light heavyweight titleholder, is set to return for his third Octagon walk this year in the main event of UFC 307 at the Delta Center, taking on number eight ranked contender, Rountree in another trip to altitude.
Sidelined since he featured against former title chaser, Anthony Smith back in December of last year, Syndicate MMA stape, Rountree turned in a dominant third round knockout win over the Nebraska veteran — earning himself a surprising title charge.
